Wigan 0 Sheffield Wednesday 1: Grab a Grand
Tulips flower so brightly for all too short a time, while clogs toast so nicely upon the wood burning stove for an even shorter time. Aye, austerity in Wigan is a right pain in the Wildschut, in’t it? Ahh, the transfer window. You might run for those borders and the safety of Horwich, or you […]

Sheffield Wednesday 2 Wigan 1: Dry birds
I see what ya did there, EFL! And it is certainly the right decision to schedule Sheffield Wednesday v Wigan for sunny, shiny September. Any later and that mischievous Big Man in the Sky is likely to douse the Hillsborough surface with his never-ending salt drink, just like in December 2013. As you may recall, […]

Regatta of the Roses: The Great Owlerton Swim-Off of 2013
Why am I wincing? Because I can still taste that salty rainwater trickling across my cracking, chapped lips to the tip of my reluctant tongue. I wasn’t actually at the Owlerton Regatta in December 2013, when referee Chris Stroud called a halt to that infamous doggy paddle-off between Sheffield Wednesday and Wigan Athletic after 60 […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 111: Post-Xmas Blues
So this is the year 2015, eh? Doesn’t look much like the future to me – where are the hovercars and entire Sunday meals in a single pill? And why haven’t Wigan Athletic won the Premier League trophy yet? This is nothing like Hollywood told me it would be – I want my money back, […]

Wigan 0-1 Sheffield Wednesday: Wars of the Roses Tin III With a Vengeance
Agh, I don’t need those blasted ‘year in review’ talking heads shows on Channel 5! Every New Year’s Day, I lie back in my rocking chair and replay events of the previous year in the tatty old VCR box that is my brain. It may be plagued by bad reception and serious tracking issues, but […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 108: Bamboozling seasonal schedules
It can’t have escaped your attention that the first week of Decembermas has brought the inevitable influx of seasonal films and television advertisements, which kind of sucks for those of us hoping to leave Christmas shopping until 23 December… 2015. Look, who are you, my mother? Stop reminding me that people need various gift wrapped […]

Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 Wigan: Lies, steak pies and astrophysics
At times of extreme drama I tend to retreat to a self-constructed bubble of peaceful ignorance, JWAW’s very own meditation chamber free of hype, over-excitement and the general madness manufactured by those entrapped by their own monstrous newsprint. Namely the mainstream media, though I get the feeling I didn’t need to tell you that. Here […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 107: A Sweaty Junction
Now that those meddlesome cameras have finally migrated south for winter, the Progress With Unity Podcast team can concentrate on motoring into the Mackay era without 100 gatsos flagging up their every inconsistency. Orange cones can be kicked clear and traffic lights ignored, as there are no turns ahead for 3,487 miles – this is […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 79: Thorpy’s Big Break
This week’s episode of the Progress With Unity Podcast is full of exciting cameos, making it unlistenable- erm, unmissable for any Latics fan. Unmissable like a Ben Watson header, a Jordi Gomez penalty or a Demichelis pony tail. Not only do we have exclusive insight from TV star Paul Thorp, but Jimmy White pops by […]

Wigan 1-0 Sheffield Wednesday: Gomez leaves Wednesday in the lurch
Please do not adjust your monitor’s V-hold, because you’re not seeing double – yesterday was indeed officially Wednesday Wednesday, Wednesday. And I apologise if you aren’t the daughter from The Addams Family but that was far too tempting an opportunity for any internet blogger to pass up, no matter how trite and hackneyed. Sheffield Wednesday’s […]
